I am compiling a Roll of Honour of Scotland's WW1 Dead. I believe the three sons of William Morton Lawrie and Agnes Alexander Lawrie, of Alexander Street, Coatbridge all died.
I have found William, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and Alexander, Black Watch but, so far, I have been unable to find William's details as to regiment or force served in or date died.
I wondered if anyone could help?

Hi Alistair,
There are 4 Lawries listed on Coatbridge Civic Memorial - maybe the 4th was a relation?
LAWRIE, Alex. W., Lance Corporal, 9th Royal Highlanders (Black Watch)
LAWRIE, John G., Signalman, R.N.V.R.
LAWRIE, Matthew, Private, 10th Gordon Highlanders
LAWRIE, William, Private, 11th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders
Coatbridge Memorial lists all ranks & units - makes life so much easier to identify those listed.

Thanks once again, Anne
There seems to have been quite a clan of Lawries in Coatbridge at that time so Matthew may well have been a relative.
You couldn't really begin to imagine the affect on a fimily of losing three sons/brothers.
